Chapter 43: The Immortal Lineup
"It's so hard."
Xue He looked at Qin Bai, who was opposed to him, with a disdainful expression: "What's the difficulty!" ”
"Fix the book!"
Qin Bai's brows were almost twisted into a dead knot: "Only when the era of peace and prosperity and the peak of national strength can the matter of cultivating books be practiced." It is clearly written in the contract that 'all the surviving and previously published and valuable books must be re-edited and reorganized, so as to benefit the people and educate the people'—this is a great project! I'm afraid that it will take more than ten years to sit firmly in the country before you can start your thoughts, and you have to gather the elite and good talents among the world's scholars to work hard and financially together, although it is a good thing for the benefit of future generations, it is also a little more difficult. ”
Rise pose.
The snowy river blinks - is that so?
"Looks like I didn't pick the wrong person."
He nodded appreciatively: "People with real first-class acting skills will not be actors." Being a politician or businessman is much more promising. ”
He continued:
"I chose you because I think you're a good fit – of course, if you do well enough, I can prepare a letter of recommendation for you, which will be very good for your future career."
"Well, what if it doesn't work?"
Qin Bai asked pessimistically.
"I'll help you too!"
Xue He looked very happy, as if she was the one who wanted to sign the contract: "Anyway, I won't suffer!" Even if it can't be done, he'll take the blame! ”
"In the worst-case scenario, I will unilaterally terminate the contract, and you will be sent back to your hometown." ”
Qin Bai cautiously read the contract back and forth several times, but he couldn't see anything wrong, and still asked with some hesitation: "Why does Heavenly Court support me in usurping the throne?" Did the Emperor commit any serious wrongdoing? ”
Before he could speak, Xue He said angrily: "Don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked!" Sign-in! ”
"Snowy River."
"The contract must be signed by him voluntarily, not against his own will—let him decide for himself." ”
Xue He had to keep his mouth shut obediently, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where he needed to sign it.
"So, you will be fully responsible for the rebellion, right?" Qin Bai asked again.
"I'm only here to help, but not for you."
He corrected in an accentuated tone: "There are some things that no one is born with—what I want to recruit is a contractor who does things for me, not a puppet who sits back and enjoys it." ”
He looks fierce when he speaks with a straight face, with a daunting sense of oppression, but his tone is full of a sense of trust that can make people trust their lives, deep and heavy, so that even if he is very serious, it will make people think that he is responsible for you.
Intuitively, this should be a person who can be trusted, and his heart doesn't seem to be as cold as it seems.
Qin Bai decided to trust his inner instincts, took up the pen, and solemnly wrote his name on the contract.
As soon as he raised his hand, he put the scroll into his sleeve, and then pinched the tip of his eyebrows with two fingers, and a golden light flashed, and then Qin Bai only felt a violent burning sensation on the back of his neck:
"Wow! It hurts! ”
Qin Bai was most afraid of pain in his life, and I saw him bending down with his neck very exaggeratedly, and his mouth couldn't stop sobbing: "Don't bring this!" Do you have to stamp it? It's not written in the contract?! …… Is it too late to regret it now? ”
"Well! Just a mark! Xue He said in disgust: "Moreover, this is a veritable uncle's seal!" The fairies and monsters don't dare to mess with you when they see it, hey! ”
"But it really hurts!"
Xue He looked at the miserable state of sweat on his forehead, and grabbed his collar with some curiosity to take a look: he saw that the mark of the heraldic style had been imprinted on the back of his neck, and the surrounding skin was already red and swollen like a burn, and a residual golden light faintly flashed between the clear lines, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Sure enough, it's a high-end product! In the future, even if you are reduced to the separation of spirit and flesh, the underworld will not dare to accept you! Even the ghost has to send you home! It's awesome! ”
"Does it have to be like this?! …… Will there be a scar? If you don't say hello, you can make this kind of reputation! ”
Qin Bai wailed, but he couldn't see it, and his hand hurt when he touched it, so he could only protest in pieces: "Why do you feel like a slave?" Still stamped? And it's not a personal item. ”
"Pretty much. Since I'm a deed, I need to know your movements from time to time. ”
The look was a little slower, and the tone full of banter did not match the serious face: "Or, do you point to a convenient place, and I'll re-build it?" ”
"No, no, no, it doesn't have to be."
He raised his hand and said "open his mouth", and saw a golden thing pop out from his finger and flew directly towards Qin Bai. Qin Baigang was stunned for a moment, and instinctively said, "Huh? With a sound, he swallowed the thing directly:
"Wow, what did you just give me?!"
"Soul Sealing Pill."
He said calmly: "It will seal the primordial spirit in your body, make you temporarily lose all your mana, and completely become the real Zhao Zheng, no one can tell it." ”
"Wait, you mean, I'm mortal now?!"
Qin Bai looked incredulous: "No, this contract is not written!" ”
He said impatiently: "The number of words in the contract is limited, and such subtle details are usually not written. ”
You can figure it out if this kind of ghost excuse is lost!
Qin Bai looked at Xuehe with a sad face, only to see that Xuehe actually shrugged his shoulders and looked disapplieving: "Oh, hugging your thighs always has a price!" The deeds are like this. ”
Qin Bai faintly felt that he didn't seem to know how many pits were waiting for him to jump in! All of a sudden, I regretted it a little - did I agree too quickly?! Isn't it better to ask the details more clearly before signing?!
However, he obviously didn't care about the deed's thoughts at all, he stood up directly and called the warden, quickly completed the handover procedures, and led Qin Bai out of the yamen of the execution department to the world.
Qin Bai, who had always been confused, was inexplicably taken out of the prison, restored his previous clothes, and was sent back to the palace all the way, and put on King Ning's brocade robe again and sat on the Yongle Hall again, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought-
Did I just sign a deed of sale?
……
Winters in Yancheng have always been windy and dry, but today seems to be a special case.
In the afternoon, the warm sunlight shines through the lattice doors and windows painted with vermilion paint in the Yongle Hall and casts on the marble floor, reflecting the whole hall is bright, and it is rare to have such a sunny and warm time in winter.
The whole hall was peaceful and peaceful, except for the neutral voice of the chug, who was not in a hurry, recounting the various situations he had discovered in the past few days. Standing beside King Ning's bookcase, with his arms folded over his chest, he listened to the report quietly, nodding or asking a few words from time to time.
If it weren't for these two heavenly officials in official uniforms by his side, Qin Bai would almost be able to convince himself: Fang Cai was just lying on the desk and falling asleep and dreaming, and the execution hall and prison were all fake! It's all fake!
However, the imprint on his neck was still burning and aching, and the extremely real feeling suddenly pulled him back to reality: the next step, did he have to start the rebellion?
The stuntman of the stunt grub in the past few days is really not in vain, and he has figured out the situation inside and outside the palace, not to mention, along with the deployment of the Yancheng garrison, combat effectiveness and the details of senior officers. He was like making a debriefing report, reporting to the gang one by one in a clear and prioritized manner, and even Qin Bai couldn't help but secretly admire it when he heard it.
In the mortal world, immortals are like hanging compared to mortals; However, these immortals from the sky are equivalent to immortals, and they have no humanity.
It can't be compared.
Qin Bai sighed in his heart, holding his cheek with one hand, and looked at the neatly stacked files and official documents on the desk in a daze. There was still a row of royal tokens on the desk, and I didn't know what to do with it - it seemed that all of a sudden the situation had reversed, and the initiative was completely out of his hands.
Due to the loss of divine power, Qin Bai's five senses are far less than before, and the superiority of the gods has almost disappeared. He even began to worry a little: he didn't have the right to be at the mercy of others, and now he didn't even have mana! Coupled with the shameful uncle mark on the back of the neck, he suddenly felt like a pet dog with a collar on his neck.
Inexplicable humiliation.
Well, in fact, he didn't have any ambitions, the deed person is the deed person, anyway, the master is not an outsider! At least everyone is safe and sound, and they can continue to be with Xue He, which is not bad - hey, why hasn't Xue He come back yet?
Although it has only been separated for a while, I have already begun to miss her a little bit in my heart. Qin Bai raised his head, wanting to ask when Xuehe was coming, but seeing that he was listening to the report intently, Qin Bai had to swallow with difficulty and didn't dare to ask.
Her brothers are all very capable and can't afford to provoke them at all. The boss is a big demon king; The cockroach in front of him who checked the bottom of the palace is the sixth child; Xiao Qi's skills were already seen when he was fighting horse bandits; There is also the old eight horses, which is definitely a grave that looks kind on the surface, but in fact has a lot of thieves and chickens......
This family is all devils, right?
Mixing with these people, the world is really not worth it.
Qin Bai was thinking in frustration, when he suddenly saw a flash of light in front of him.
At the entrance of the main hall stood the guards with knives of the palace, and the people who came were silent, and he knew that they were not ordinary. I saw the figure of the man in a gray robe slowly appear in front of him, standing still at the bottom of the steps, nodding to the two people standing on the side of the bookcase in a friendly manner, and smiling at Qin Bai.
He recognized the man, it was Jairus.
After a while, several more figures appeared in front of him one after another, lined up, and stood in a neat row. Some wore the official uniform of the golden armor guard with a token around their waist, and some wore a regular uniform; The figures flashed one after another, and they all greeted the people first, and then they found their own places to stand still, without speaking, and stood at the bottom of the stairs very tacitly.
At the end, even Jun Qi, who was dressed in a plain white official uniform, also came, standing at the end of the team with a smile.
At this time, the cockroach seemed to have finally finished speaking, and also took a step back, squeezed into the line, and stood still—counting the sluggers, there were nine people in total.
“…… What about the Snow River? ”
